Hi I'm 32 working in my current company for past 5 years. Earlier I was assigned to some other work which I was able to do easily. For past few months I've been transferred and given different work. It's completely new to me and I'm getting a hard time understanding it. In top of that my new colleague who knows the work isn't helpful at all. Most of the time I'm stressed that I don't know how to do this work. Even my weekends go into stressing about work. Please guide me how should I come out of this situation.

Ans: Hello
If the new work assigned is going to add value to your career, then you should take it as an opportunity & give it your best shot.
It is not normal to feel uneasy when you are pushed out of your comfort zone but the real learning happens then only. Am sure there will be others around you whom you can approach for help or look at online options since nowadays everything is available on online platforms.
But just stressing/quitting won't help. We take inspiration from our tough battles fought well regardless of outcomes.
Feel free to ask anything further/specific.
All the Best!!
